You know the drill with Stephen Drew, Yankee fans are mixed when it comes to the dude. I mean, defensively, he's outstanding and everyone knows that. With the bat though, not so much. That doesn't mean it's not a good idea to try and sign the guy! To be honest, it's amazing to me that he's still out there on the free agent market. I mean, the Mets, the Yankees, the Red Sox all have had some type of dialog or connection with the guy. In fact, it was revealed recently that the Yankees had offered Drew a deal, and he turned it down. That came from Joel Sherman of the New York Post who wrote:
"Early in the offseason, the Yankees – with so many holes to fill – used a strategy of making many offers at one time, letting agents know that with each signing, they would re-assess and pull some bids. The Yankees actually made Drew an offer at that time, believed to be for two or three years, when the shortstop was still looking to do considerably better – four or five years."
Now comes the question, are the Yanks done with the idea of Drew in pinstripes, and will a team like the Tigers pursue Drew hard now? Why, you ask? Because apparently Jose Iglesias is hurt, read HERE... Oh yeah, and Peter Gammons said so:
I would not bet against rumor sending Stephen Drew to Tigers

Look, who knows what will happen to Drew, and I often and always disagree with Peter Gammons, but I agree on this idea, the Tigers should make a run.More Drew updates soon... I know you love them.
